Carroll Gardens Love Your Library Day 2012 - Saturday May 19

We're gearing up for our Annual Love Your Library Day Book Sale at the Carroll Gardens Library on May 19, 2012 from 10 AM - 4 PM!  We'll have thousands of books at great prices, and music, readings and other fun for everyone.  It'll be a celebration of reading, the library and the community.


In addition to our huge book sale, we are celebrating our community with a line up of cool entertainment including readings by children's authors and local residents Josh Lewis, author of the Super Chicken Nugget Boy series and Lela Nargi, author of The Honeybee Man, a finalist for the Cook prize for children's science writing; art activities with Curious Jane, and more!  Brooklyn Public Library t-shirts will be available for sale and we'll have another delicious bake sale - all to raise money for the library and raise awareness of how important libraries are to the community.

We still have spots for artists who might want to participate in Love Your Library Day - If you have a band that can play music, or you are a writer who'd like to read from one of your books or you're an artist who wants to help with art projects that will be displayed in the library after Love Your Library Day contact us at friendscglibrary@gmail.com.
